Something I discovered - I had the same profile text on my Tarot app profiles for ages

Changed the profile to something fun and relatable. Brought up how I understand being overwhelmed with possibilities (ADHD) and that I provide a judgment-free space.

I've been busy since that change.

Cory Booker took over the Senate floor for 25 hours and 4 minutes to make us aware of the BS going on

Whenever I mess up going forward, I can tell myself, "At least I didn't add a journalist to a top secret Signal chat where government officials were discussing war plans & making Burn-Book commentary about other countries"

Ok, how many of you witches saw the news about the leak and then looked up how this Mercury Retrograde would affect those with a Cancer sun sign (like the United States)?

I haven't started recording for my occultist podcast series.

Was initially going to play off Minnesota vibes and the interest in community/praxis over fixation on history. Now I'm leaning towards mimicking Fallout/post-apoc meets witchcraft vibes.

Glad I made it to Paganicon (hosted by @tcpaganpride.bsky.social) - the closing plenary was ❤️❤️❤️ - now is the time for us pagans to connect with one another, and for those of us who can be visible & take a stand to do so

Yesterday was the 333rd anniversary of the Salem Witch Trials.

I don't have strong feelings about it because they didn't kill witches - they killed innocents due to a fear of witchcraft. It's a reminder of how dangerous large groups of fearful, biased people can be.

We're dealing with that now 😪

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Sometimes all you need to do to make your desires real is to write them down.

99% of the time - yes you need to work your ass off between planning, facing your feelings, and doing the work.

That sets you up for those moments when you write down your want, and *boom* it happens.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Struggles as a fantasy writer - getting TOO MUCH inspiration from current events.

On my to-do list - deconstruct the "metaphysical properties" of crystals. How much is at least minimally scientifically based (lepidolite and mood balancing), how much is from folklore, and how much is based on ROYGBIV-chakra color psychology?

Folks keep telling me they love the energy I put into my beaded bracelets.

I didn't realize how MUCH energy I was putting into them until I finished stringing up 23 bracelets and felt as exhausted as I do when I do Tarot back to back for hours at an event.

It's a lot.

My new tool for identifying whether a collection of beliefs has a discernable lineage or if someone just took a little bit of everything to form their worldview.

I see you - you are not alone. We need to lean on community to survive (and thrive) in these times. Rather than create some "one side fits all" pdf, I'm offering connection and 1:1 support

With everything going on, sometimes you need a little guidance

Rather than make a "obe size fits all pdf I'm offering a service to the community: three-minute Tarot readings, with the video emailed to you. I'm committing to doing 111 of these for free. Get yours at themysticgeek.com/444-acts-of-...

Have you ever had a conversation that can only last for a finite time, but simultaneously you wish it could keep going and going? That's what it was like to chat with @falkensmage.bsky.social!

Curious what two spiritual geeks end up talking about? Stay tuned 👇
I just recorded the first episode of SEASON THREE of Contemplating Resonance with the amazing @themysticgeek.bsky.social!

And we still have two more episodes of SEASON TWO in the hopper!

The Democrats in the Senate are taking over the floor for 30 hours to hold up the confirmation vote for Russell Vought to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget

He's one of the architects of Project 2025

Call upon whatever system you use to give these Senators resilience & visibility.

Witch tip:
Frustrated with what's going on right now? Feeling helpless to stop things? Journal about a better future 10-15 years from now. Write about how the stressful things happening now get dealt with. Be as dramatic and creative as you want.

Now here is where it gets fun:

On social media, several Navajo Nation tribal members say they have had their nationality questioned. The accounts are not verified but Navajos who live off the reservation say they are concerned about being swept up in raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Hey folks who are now boycotting Target - Twin Cities Pride disinvited the company from being a sponsor at their event. That's a huge financial hit. Let's make sure that the event stays free to the public and that the vendor booths remain affordable. Please donate - tcpride.harnessgiving.org/donate/
